Discover this immaculate and fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath rowhouse built in 1860 and nestled in the heart of the Capitol Hill Historic District. Once part of the Frederick Douglass Museum, this extraordinary home combines rich heritage with modern luxury, tucked away on the charming red-bricked Frederick Douglass Court—a true community hub known for its vibrant summer block parties. Per the National Park Service website, Frederick Douglass owned the home at 320 A Street NE up until 1877. Located just around the corner from the U.S. Capitol Building and Supreme Court, this home offers not only convenience and prestige but also a peaceful retreat in the city. Key Features: Beautifully fenced rear patio with pergola, ideal for al fresco dining. 1-car secured garage parking via an oversized Wayne Dalton rolling door with keypad and remote access. Gleaming refinished hardwood floors throughout—no carpet. Freshly painted interior and exterior porch with newly stained and restored fencing and gate. Encapsulated crawl space for improved indoor air quality and energy efficiency ($20K+ value). Upgrades & Improvements Since 2019: Custom closet renovations with elongated doors and Elfa shelving systems in all bedrooms. Hunter Douglas blinds throughout for style and privacy. Thoughtful landscaping with native plants, knockout roses, and a flowering dwarf cherry tree. Custom aluminum wrap to preserve and protect the original front door frame. Wired for Verizon Fios high-speed fiber optic internet. ADT home security system with glass-break sensors, remote access, and dual-level controls. Under-sink Hydroviv water filtration system for purified drinking water. Freshly caulked and painted front porch. Brand new refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington’s living history—fully modernized and move-in ready— A Must See!
